Strengthening her reign

Kareena Kapoor seems to be on a roll these days. Not only has she worked with all the biggies in the industry, but the audiences have also been appreciating her performances much to her delight.

Normally, the stars of tinsel town are quite fearful of critics but Kareena seems to have no worries when it comes to them. Apparently, an esteemed critic personally paid the actress quite a compliment recently.

Reveals an insider, “Kareena was told by a highly respected critic that she was loved in Kurbaan and that her performance was fantastic. In fact, he even went on to say that he’s a big fan of hers and with Kurbaan, he has only become a bigger fan.”

“He went on to wish her well and also hoped that the numero uno status always remains with her.” Sources also say that Kareena, who’s currently in Sydney, is being flooded with calls and compliments over her performance in the film. Kareena seems to have everything going in her favour — the right looks, talent, films, brands.... the list is endless.

 She is often compared to veteran actress Sridevi — who is the epitome of beauty and talent. Reveals a trade analyst, “Audiences are appreciating the film and the chemistry between Saif and Kareena is quite a highlight. Kareena, by the looks of it, is set to sweep all the awards this year for her performance in Kurbaan. She is better in Kurbaan than she was in Jab We Met.”

Goes on to reveal the analyst, “Performance wise she is Kajol, beauty wise Aishwarya — what more can an actress ask for.” Talking about Kareena in the film, critic Taran Adarsh says, “As for Kareena, Kurbaan reiterates one fact yet again, she is the best in the business. No two opinions on that! Watch her get those emotional sequences right, it’s incredible. Here's a performance that truly merits the highest praise and admiration, besides fetching her awards and accolades.”

Kareena seems to be growing from strength to strength with each film, and if Kurbaan is this year’s Jab We Met, Bebo stills reigns as the queen of Bollywood.
